So, I go back to work next week. The majority of my clothes are work appropriate, but pretty boring (which is sort of my style). I have literally 10 striped button down shirts in various pink, purple, and blue colors. My last job was very business dress (suits several times a week), but now I will be working in a less formal place. I am broke and can't afford to buy lots of new clothes. So, I am thinking that I can get a couple of cardigans, some new jewelry, and a couple skinny belts? That way, I can belt a cardigan over a tank or collared shirt, or wear a plain top with a fun necklace. I am also not opposed to going to a thrift shop to get a couple of tops.

What would you do to update your tired work wardrobe on the cheap? Should I get a pair of skinny dress pants instead of the bootcut/flare ones that I have?
